DR.. Guernon, who was in town from
st. Vincent last week, SAYS the senti-
ment of the Manitoba people is over
whelmingly in favor of building the
Red River Valley railroad, even with
the opposition of the Dominion govern
ment, and that the opposition Of the
central government tends to rather
anger the people of the province than
to change their intention. He is Of the
| opinion, however, that there will be
some delay in building the road, even
if it is built at all under the present
plan. The peaple there have also be-
come somewhat discouraged. They
want it just as bad as ever
bu4 the 81 100000 or more that it will
require to build it is not forthcoming
and is likely to prove more material
cause Of delay than the protests of the
Canadian Pacific railway and the Dom
inion government. The province Of
| Manitoba has authorized the issuing of
ST 200, 600 in bonds, but the Dominion
government disallowed the issuance Of
of the bonds, and they could not
be negotiated. The feeling among
the Manitobans infavor of commercial
and even governmental union is very
strong.
